Are you a Specialist, or just Special?

Hello readers. This post is not going to teach you a lesson or really have a “light jog, light jog” message like my past posts have. Really, it is just going to be more of an observation than an inspiration.

As some of you may know, my internship ends next Friday and as I look for jobs I realize all of them are for specialists, presidents, managers, or expert. My question to these companies is where do you expect to find these amazing, very qualified people? If you ask me, I would guess the people with 10 to 12 years experience who have the ability to be a “specialist” or a “manager” either have jobs. On that note how do they expect someone like myself and the young age of 30 to have 10 to 12 years experience? That would mean I got an awesome job at 18 or 20, doubtful. 

I propose to you hiring companies, to look to those of us with not the amount of experience but instead the drive and ambition to become a “specialist.” Whatever knowledge we lack could be quickly learned and then we could be molded into the amazing specialist, president, or manager they are looking for. President Britt, has sort of a ring to it.

Until next time….
